Does anyone have a walk through for how to remove the chrome grill trim and install the JCW black trim? I have an S with the standard body (no JCW kit).

Thanks!

 

just pull for the lower grill trim, its hel in by clips that snap into place.

the top trim has 2 or 3 screws and a bunch of clips. take a flat head screw driver and push the clips till they pop off (when you see the clips it will make sense)


its really easy...

 

It is rather easy to do. A pair of needlenose pliers will work well for releasing the clips.

 

I recently replaced the chrome trim moulding with black trim moulding around the grille of my '08 MCSa.The lower grille section is held in with I believe 4 clips,just pull out one side first then you can press in the other clips to completely remove it.The hood moulding is held on by 4 screws (2 outer,2 inner) and 6 clips.Use a needle nose pliers to release the clips.

It is fairly easy to do.

 

I thought I read that the rear JCW piece doesn't fit quite right without the JCW bodykit? From the posts above sounds like there is no issue?

 

for the grill trim it's absolutely not an issue

 

I just tried to install the JCW grille on my R55S and it didn't fit, am i right in thinking that the regular (non S) cooper and the S have different size grilles? Did i buy the wrong grille (51 11 0 404 122)?

 

There's a little walkthrough with pictures and instruction here.

Very easy to do.
